I started weight watchers at the beginning of january, lost 10lb's in january which I was really pleased with. Then it was my birthday on february 1st and it all went to pot from there. I've actually put on 3lb's since then, I'm so annoyed with myself :( I've been really stressed with exams and...

I've been so rubbish with this recently. I've been so busy with uni work, placement and my birthday! My weight has fluctuated quite a lot over my birthday, but i've managed to get back to it this week. Hoping I'll have lost something. I don't think I'm going to have the time to record everything...

Thanks everyone :D Today has been another good day. Not 100% sure on how many points my dinner was. I'm back in Gloucester for my placement, my friends parents cook my dinner when i'm here, it's always diet friendly so definitely within my daily points.

Well done everyone! You're all doing really well! I've lost another 3lb's this week... so have exceeded my goal by 1.5lb's already :D Am really pleased!! Blackwidow - (January - 8lbs, 2.5lbs lost) Bear 1982 - 2 (January - 6lbs, 6lbs lost) kdma -(January -6lbs, 2.5lbs lost) Shabba - IreneH -...

I've been really rubbish at updating this recently, but i've kept a food diary and have been eating the right amount of points everyday :) Weighed myself this morning and i've lost another 3lb's!! I'm so pleased, I can now do up the top button on my coat :) I've also met my goal of loosing...

Sorry, I did wonder why speech and language therapy were involved in behaviour... unfortunately we don't have the funding to work in many secondary schools. Thanks :) exactly, i've told myself that as long as i don't put any weight on i'll be happy!

Glad to hear your new job is going well and, wow, New York?! That is amazing, so exciting!! Fingers crossed it all goes well! When you said about your awful class did you mean SLT as in speech and language therapy? Just interested, as this is what i'm training to do :) Also well done on the...

Thanks :) Today was my first day on my paediatric placement. I love paeds so really enjoyed it, can't wait to start assessing children and giving therapy next week :) Not sure how many points my dinner was - am gonna guess at 10 points (at the most, as used extra lean mince and no fat)...

Thank you everyone for the lovely messages. It really encourages me to have all of your support. I'm so pleased with my weight loss so far, hopefully I can keep it up :) Today was my first day of placement, I was in a hospital going round to different wards doing swallowing assessments on...

I didn't write in here yesterday cause i was so busy... weighed in today and i've lost 3lb's this week... am really really pleased, 6.5lb's down in 2 weeks :D I've done the 3 hour journey to Gloucester today for my placement. I'm staying at a friends house, start my first day tomorrow in...

Yesterday I went a bit off the wagon. I'm so annoyed with myself. I weighed myself and I put on a pound :( I know it could be just from where my weight fluctuates, but I can't help but blame what I ate yesterday. I had some friends round, we had a takeaway and went to the pub afterwards. I'm not...

Thank you :) I will have a look!

Thank you :D You must be able to sympathize with your students... exams are horrible! My exam didn't go too badly, but it was 3 hours long... by the time it got to 2 hours I'd completely lost my concentration, so didn't really do my best in the last questions. Nevermind, I'm glad exams are over...

That sounds so yummy!! Any idea how much it would be in discover points?

I'm getting a takeaway tomorrow night with some friends :D Have been looking forward to it all week! Will probably get a chinese though so shouldn't be too many points :)

No problem :)

The exam went ok today... I think :/ got another one tomorrow morning so am doing the last minute revision for that now. Can't wait till tomorrow afternoon when exams are over and I can start getting ready for my placement, which starts next week! Ahh! Anyway, food wise things have been ok...

Hey, I posted a recipe here: http://www.minimins.com/recipes/182814-sweet-potato-lentil-curry.html It's sweet potato and lentil curry. I used to eat it all the time when I was a veggie, and works out at 2 points per portion :) I usually have it with a low fat naan bread, but you could have...

I've found everything a bit easier today. I had an exam this afternoon and friends round this morning, so have been too busy to think of food. My exam went ok today :) tomorrow I have the really hard exam... I'm panicking now cause I don't think I know enough to pass, even though i've spent the...

Thanks everyone!! :D Today I've struggled a bit. My exams start tomorrow, so today I've been trying to concentrate on revising all day. Usually when I revise I have some sweets or chocolate to keep me awake and focussed. So today I've been craving chocolate all day... but I didn't give...

Wow what a big loss TJ, well done! I've lost 3.5lb's, really pleased! Wannabe10stone ... 10 pounds -2.5lbs Lildanni ... 6 pounds Baby2010 ... 6 pounds purple_rain ... 6 pounds -4lbs HBB ... 12 pounds (to take me to 3stone loss) -3lbs, 9lbs to go Smirky ... 7 pounds (takes me to 11st 7lbs and 5...

Well done hbb! Thats brilliant :D I've lost 3.5lb's this week, really pleased!! Thats the christmas weight gone! Blackwidow - (January - 8lbs, 0lbs lost) Bear 1982 - 2 (January - 6lbs, 6lbs lost) kdma -(January -6lbs, +0.5lbs) Shabba - IreneH - vanda - Lainie10 - Clarri - (January - 8lbs -...

I lost 3.5lb's :D So pleased!! I know it's probably all water retention, but still really pleased. I've also met my target of 3 portions of fruit today. Today I've had: Breakfast 2 shredded wheats (2) Milk (1) Lunch: Jacket potato (3) Chicken (2.5) Light mayo (1) Sweetcorn (.5) Kiwi (.5)...

If you enter the nutritional value of say 3 slices of ham it might come up to 0.5 points. Some things are 0 points, like sugar free jelly, vegetables etc. Thanks for telling me about the ham, i'll buy some next time I go shopping.

Do they have jacket pototatoes? Or salad wraps? Or you could have a sandwhich as long as the filling is something low in points like ham or chicken. Thats what I buy if I'm at uni with no lunch :)

It was a brilliant film! Will definitely be buying it when it comes out on DVD. Did you manage to get to the cinema? Yeah SLT is a really intense course. My next term is going to be especially hard as my placement is a 3 hours away for 2 days a week. I absolutely love it though, wouldn't want...

Thank you! :D

Today was a lovely day, went shopping with my family for outfits for my cousins wedding. I didn't buy anything :( I hate how nothing seems to fit me!! It gave me even more motivation to lose weight, I will do it! We went into thorntons cafe for a drink and I didn't have anything!! I was so...

Bump?

I'm pretty sure you can save up points for 4 days, on the old system (the one i'm using). I'll double check later when my Mum brings round her old weight watchers books. Last night I had 6 vodka and diet cokes... so 6 points... and a shot of apple sours which I think is 2 points, so 8 points...

Today was another good day, even though i've been sat at my desk all day revising! Breakfast: 2 shredded wheats (2) Milk (1) Lunch: Jacket potato (3) Coleslaw (2) Kiwi (1) Muller light yog (1) WW choc cake bar (1.5) Pasta (3) Chicken (4) - it was a bit bigger than yesterdays Passata...

I'm looking forward to my treat on monday now... can't decide what to have :p I guess different things work for different people. It's only week 1 for me so I have a long time to find out what works for me. Thank you everyone for your help.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm thinking of saving up my points every week and using them on a treat on monday evening (after my weigh in). This should give my metabolism a boost and will give me something to look forward to :) Do you think that would be ok starlight?

Thank you! I'm surprised I didn't think of having a treat a week :p Now I think back I can remember when my Mum was on weight watchers, she had fish and chips for dinner after she went to her weigh in. Tomorrow night I'm going out for a friends birthday so might have a few treats then. I think...

Hi everyone :) I'm doing the old discover points. I'm meant to have 25 points a day (although this will go down to 24 when I turn 20 in a couple weeks time), but so far i've been eating between 23 and 19.5. I know that I'm meant to eat my full allowance every day, but I'm not going hungry...

Another good day today! I went into town to do my theory test this afternoon and I passed :D Wooo! Now I can get on with revision for my exams that are next week. I'm getting really stressed about my exams, I don't feel ready for them at all and don't have the time to do as much revision as...

Thanks :) Good luck with your weight loss... we can do it!! Let me know what Chantelle's boot camp DVD is like, would love to try out some different DVD's. I know what you mean about the exercise, I really want to start running but can't pluck up the courage to actually do it.... hopefully...

Thats brilliant, hopefully other supermarkets will start doing the same:) Although I'm using the old points...

With UK WW you can exercise as much as you like. Exercise will earn you extra points depending on what you do and how much you do. I can't really comment on the groups because I've never been to one. The first time I done WW I used my Mum's books and points calculator (as she used to go to the...

I've changed my mind. I think 10lb is a bit ambitious, so have re set my January goal to 8lb :) Wannabe10stone ... 10 pounds -2.5lbs Lildanni ... 6 pounds Baby2010 ... 6 pounds purple_rain ... 6 pounds -4lbs HBB ... 12 pounds (to take me to 3stone loss) -3lbs, 9lbs to go Smirky ... 7 pounds...

Today has been another good day :D Breakfast: 2 shredded wheats (2) Milk (1) Lunch: 1 boiled egg (2) 2 slices of toast (4) Kiwi (1) Muller light yog (1) A few little chocolates that I got for christmas (1) Dinner: Pasta (3) Mince (5) Passata (0) Mushrooms (0) Onion (0) Snack (2) Total...

I used fry light when I made it on monday :) I also swapped peppers for mushrooms and was very nice.

Today has been a lot easier than yesterday. I've not been hungry all day like I was yesterday, but that could just be because i've been sat on my desk all day revising, so no exercise :o This morning I was so tempted to weigh myself, just to see if I had gone down by a tiny little bit, but I...

It's just so easy to eat when I'm at uni. When we have breaks everyone goes to the shop and buys choclate and crisps :/ I'm going to bring healthy snacks to eat if I get peckish. This term I'm on placement on tuesdays and wednesdays so that should help, but my placement is a 3 hour drive away so...

Hi everyone! My names Beth, I'm 19 and from Plymouth. I'm in my second year at university studying Bsc (hons) Speech and Language Therapy. I also work part time at a children's soft play area. My diet started today and I'm following the discover points plan. I'm not going to meetings as...

Hi, could you put my diary in the weight watchers diary section? I decided at last minute that I wanted to follow weight watchers instead of calorie counting. My diaries called "My journey to graduation and marriage!" Thanks :)

Thanks Bella. I'm so grateful of this support. Last night I decided to follow the weight watchers discover points plan. I've done it before and it worked for me. I think it will help for me to have some structure in my diet, like knowing I have x amount of points left for the day. I've worked...

I would love to be in a team, but don't mind waiting if they're all full at the moment. Started WW discover today. Have 3 stone to loose.

Can I join in? I've started the discover WW plan today and want to loose 10lb before Feb 1st (my birthday!!).

This is one of my favourite low fat recipes. It's cheap, easy to make and tastes gorgeous :) Sweet potato and lentil curry 2oz onions 4oz carrots 2oz mixed peppers 2.5 oz red lentils 6oz sweet potato 1tsp curry powder 1tbsp olive oil 400g tinned tomatoes 1/2 pint water 1. Fry onions, carrots...

Thanks for your support :) That soup sounds really nice. My blender is at my parents house so I'll grab it when I next go to see them. Congratulations on your weight loss. I saw your pictures, and, wow, you should be so proud of yourself.

My diet doesn't start until tomorrow, but I thought I would write in my diary just so I get into the habbit of writing in here. Today I bought new scales, I decided I need electronic scales, as I'm so tall I can barely see how much I weigh on the old ones! I'm going to put all the food that I...

Hi everyone! I’m a 19 year old student from Devon. I’m graduating in 2012 and really want to have lost the weight for my graduation. Also, I recently got engaged and me and my partner are hoping to get married in 2013, I’m hoping to lose lots of weight this year and keep it off for the wedding...

I'm 19 years old and a student in Devon. I'm hoping to get down to 182lb's by the end of the year. I'm currently 220lb's so hopefully it's a sensible goal. I'm going to eat healthily and start regular exercise (running, swimming and exercise videos). I'm going to keep a food and exercise diary...
